Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

The Consortium Director of Operations and Finance, CEO and Board Organizational (finance) committee review the first draft of the 990. The full Board of Directors review the final draft of the 990 prior to submission.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

Board members complete a conflict of interest disclosure annually and any conflicts of interest or potential conflicts are discussed prior to Board meetings where an approval may be made.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

Prior to hiring the Chief Executive Officer in August 2020, the Consortium compiled data regarding compensation levels for individuals in comparable positions. The Board assessed the comparability data prior to determining the compensation offered to the preferred candidate. The Board also relied on a number of other factors in making its determination regarding the CEOs compensation: 1) the experience of numerous Board members working in nonprofit and governmental entities to ensure that the compensation being offered to the CEO was consistent with the range of compensation and benefits provided to the head of similar organizations; and 2) the independent Boards assessment of the CEOs capabilities and qualifications to ensure that the total remuneration opportunity for the Consortium's CEO was within a reasonable range of competitive market practices applicable to like positions among like organizations under like circumstance. The compiled compensation data for comparable positions was documented and is part of the Consortium's corporate record, as are the terms of the employment offer. Additionally, and consistent with Consortium bylaws, a record of all Directors of the Consortium who voted to approve the compensation structure and employment offer for the CEO was recorded and is part of the Consortium's corporate record. In the fall of 2021, the Consortium Board of Directors approved a CEO evaluation process requiring that the committee recommending CEO compensation to the Board of Direction reference benchmark data on CEO compensation and that this data be updated at least once every two years. CEO salary benchmarking data was most recently updated in fall of 2022.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15B

The salary and compensation for the Director of Operations and Finance, who also serves as Corporate Secretary was determined by a performance review evaluated by the CEO.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

As required by the Nonprofit Integrity Act in California and IRS regulations, certain documents are available to the public upon request.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Telemetered Water Monitoring Project: The Telemetered Water Monitoring project launched in June 2023. In collaboration with Environmental Science Associates, the Consortium conducted research and interviews with experts in telemetered water monitoring, resulting in a comprehensive report on lessons learned and best practices. The team also interviewed water leaders in California to develop recommendations for watersheds for the Telemetry Research Unit to pilot a telemetered water monitoring network. After selecting the pilot watershed, the team began outreach with interested parties in the watershed, to inform recommendations for the pilot project. The team held a virtual informational meeting and an in-person meeting to collect feedback about challenges, existing monitoring networks, and priorities in the area.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Other Program Accomplishments: The Urban Water Working Group began development of an urban water use and supply dataset on the CNRA Open Data Portal focused on critical data for drought risk assessment and response. In collaboration with the Water Solutions Network, the Consortium provides a space for state and non-state partners to address LiDAR needs in California, with facilitation support from the Department of Water Resources. Through the free, virtual Data for Lunch series, the Consortium engages members and the public in exploring emerging datasets, technologies, and governance structures. Additionally, the Consortium continues to work with the AB1755 Partner Agency Team to advance open water data initiatives. The Consortium also welcomed a new Communications and Outreach Manager to bolster efforts to engage the water data community and promote equitable water solutions.
